I have the Apple TV and have cancelled cable as well. Greatest thing about Apple TV is that my wife and her sister - neither of whom have any patience for futzing around with AV or computer equipment - can easily figure everything out and

So let's say you have a CS background and want to pick up python today - is it worth it to read up on the 2.0 stuff or just go right for 3.0 seeing as 3.0 is "backwards incompatible"? Is there a mass exodus to 3.0 happening or are there go

Great talk by Bezos on how the internet is more like electricity than the gold rush: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jeff_bezos_on_the_next_we... This is similar to his Startup School talk ( http://www.omnisio.com/startupschool08/jeff-

I'm a med student and a programmer. I think there are a lot of similarities between these two disciplines. The body is an incredibly complex system that you or a pathological process can perturb in a variety of ways, just like any other sy

Do you think there are other industries that would be a good example for the medical industry to follow? It seems like coming up with standards for such a complex area has been a stumbling block for healthcare. Is healthcare more complica

This Charlie Rose of George Lucas has some really interesting parts about how art is technology. That is, technology as a way to realize a vision - an artistic vision in George Lucas' case. I think the particularly interesting stuff is ar

I think you have about 1 year in industry before your academic cred is used up. Generally speaking , a research position in a company like Google, IBM, HP, etc. is definitely more in-line with what the admission committee will understand

Glad you'll be checking out the Mazdas! I would just mention to make sure to check out the Mazda speed line. Despite the similar sounding names, the Mazdaspeed 3 is far superior to the Mazda 3.

I have the Mazdaspeed 3. It's basically a souped up version of the Mazda 3. It's less expensive than many of the other cars mentioned (which I also looked at) but is far and away the most fun car I've ever driven. Can do a sub 6 sec 0-60,

Two suggestions - totally personal, so curious what other's think: 1) get rid of the front page dominating "welcome", I think it's unnecessary and annoying - people will click on the link and read more if they want to. 2) make the interface

I agree, this is a really difficult balance. In the real world I think Tyler would have said "Ok, I'll try and be nicer to those other folks" during the one-on-one meeting then returned to his original behavior w/in a matter of days or wee

Actually from what I've seen Google uses Google Docs extensively internally including for presentations within groups. Sharing docs is so much easier that way. I think most people use ppt for outside / important presentations though.

Hi LPTS, I think we should talk more. Are you going to be at startup school?

Going off the Apple point - I remember getting my first Macintosh, booting it up and being completely blown away by the richness of the interface. Despite the analogy being a bit confusing for some, I was particularly intrigued by how you

Just downloaded it. Looks and feels pretty good so far. I'm curious - is anyone else having problems scrolling using the Thinkpad middle button?

Interesting. Do you deduct those expenses from future revenues or from your personal income?

by kcy 19y ago
This may be a silly question, but just so I'm clear, I'm assuming that you can't write off anything from the firm until it is actually generating revenues. Is that right?
